 Directions



(adapted from Eating Well magazine)

Place swordfish steaks in a shallow glass dish. In a small bowl, combine
all remaining ingredients. Spread mixture over both sides of fish. Cover
and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat gas grill. Once the fire is at medium
heat, grill the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes per side. The flesh should be
opaque. Remove from the grill. Cut each steak into two portions and
serve. Serves 4.

Dots notes: I've made this using swordfish or yellowfin tuna. I always
double the number of hot peppers (usually several large jalapenos or lots
of small serranos) and the garlic. I serve this with Chardonnay or
Sauvignon Blanc, vegetable, salad or slaw, & couscous or rice. Try to avoid
getting the turmeric on the counter top (it stains)! Enjoy!
